Breaking Down Strongholds Part 1 by John Paul Jackson & Patty Mapes

5/7/2015

The Apostle Paul said in 2 Corinthians 10:3-5, “It is true that we live in the world, but we do not fight from worldly motives. The weapons we use in our fight are not the world's weapons but God's powerful weapons, which we use to destroy strongholds. We destroy false arguments; we pull down every proud obstacle that is raised against the knowledge of God; we take every thought captive and make it obey Christ.” (GNT)
In this video series, John Paul Jackson and Patty Mapes explain how important it is to break negative strongholds, so that we may come into agreement with God’s purpose and destiny for our lives. Strongholds keep people from their destiny. Some of the common types of mental strongholds are offense, failure, judgement, human reasoning, and opinions that do not agree with what God says about an issue. The battlefield is in our minds.  We need to overcome strongholds by taking every thought captive to obey Christ, and by seeking first the Kingdom of God- focused on His plan for our lives and not our selfish desires. We should not allow our thoughts to separate us from God.

5 Tips about Strongholds from the video teaching:
  • Strongholds are arguments against what God says we are
  • Strongholds are gateways that allow demonic access into our lives
  • Stronghold attitudes keep us from embracing Christ-likeness and keep us believing our actions are justified
  • If we embrace an offense, it is able to take root and grow into a stronghold of offense
  • When you have a stronghold of failure, it can lead to spiritual paralysis which can keep you from trying anything new

Hi Di Ann,

We are unable to locate a copy of this series. The website and contact information for Patty Mapes Ministry appear to be unavailable. Your best bet is probably searching YouTube to see what of Patty's material has been shared.

Many Blessings,
